Too Sick for Socks
Yup, I got Emma's germs and now feel like dirt. I did manage to be sorta well on the weekend and went to the Lettuce Knit Christmas party and even trudged in the snow (we had a *big* storm on Sunday) but now I'm sick, sick, sick. I stayed home from work today and slept all day. I knew it was bad because I'm not knitting, not even the socks for Christmas deadline. I'm not going to be ready for my planned, Turn the Heel Tuesday which is needed so that I'm not knitting these socks late into Christmas Eve.
Worse still, because I think I may run out of yarn, I had to put almost completed sock 1 on some waste yarn to wait until I finish sock 2 and decide if I need contrast yarn for the cuff. So I can't even give him one sock with a pithy note about sock 2 being on the way. Yikes.
But really this post is just so I can whine.
Everyone deserves a good whine when they are sick. Hope you are feeling better in time to have a wonderful Christmas.

Yikes, all things considered, I think you are allowed to whine.

Whining is permissible, of course. Hope you feel better soon - better enough to knit, anyway, even if not better enough to go to work. ;)

Poor baby.
Did someone else shovel?

Whine away. You're entitled. Hope you feel better soon.

Feel better soon - at least, better enough to knit...

I hope you're better and knitting again soon!

Ah-ha! I knew I caught it from someone! I spent all of yesterday vomiting and wanting to die. Luckily, it happened only after my exam, and has ended well before the next, but still--ugh. Hope you feel better by now?

Aww, that's not good at all! I hope you feel better soon.

Aww. Feel better soon!

All of the above. And ya know? Unless you cannibalized that ball of XXL, there's enough. They are (unlike some) generous with their yardage.

Oh, noooooooes!
I hope you feel better soon!

That's the worst when you feel too sick to knit! I hope you feel better soon.

Whine away. I hope by now you are feeling a teensy bit better.

Poor Steph. I hope you're feeling a little better.

We're here for your whining because we're here for your jubilation.

I didn't get my Turn the heel Tuesday either. Or my Finish the Frustrating Scarf so I can block the snot out of it Tuesday either. Ah well. If I can have a Turn the heel Wednesday, which is looking good so far, maybe my Dad'll get a pair and a half of socks for Christmas. I may just pretend the damn scarf never existed.
Hope you're feeling better.

Poor Steph!! Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yuck! I hope you feel better soon. It's never fun to be sick, but being sick when there is a lot of stuff to do and fun to be had just makes it worse!
